Industries are required to provide pollution control measures to meet the standards prescribed by the Board. The field officers of the Board inspect the industries under their jurisdiction periodically to assess the adequacy of pollution control measures provided by the industries to treat sewage, trade effluent and emissions and to monitor their performance. They also investigate complaints of pollution received from the public, organizations and the Government. For effective monitoring, industries are categorized as ultra Red, Red, Orange, and Green according to their pollution potential. Also the industries have been classified as Large, Medium and Small scale based on the grossed fixed assets of the industry. Depending upon the category and size, industries are monitored periodically.

ORDER:
Ref: Boards resolution No.111 - 54 dated 9.8.91 ---------
As per section 17 (1) of the Air (P & CP) Act, 1981 the Board may lay down standards for emission of any air pollutant and ambient air quality in consultation with Central Pollution Control Board. The Central Pollution Control Board has not laid down standards for emission of chlorine. In the minutes of the XXVIII Conference of Chairmen and Member Secretaries of Central and State Pollution Control Boards held at Shimla, it has been indicated that the State Boards should adopt suitable standards for emission from industry to which Central Board has not so far evolved standards and in the event of Central Board coming out with relevant standards, the stricter of the two shall prevail. Meanwhile problem due to leakage of chlorine gas from chloro-alkali industries in Tamil Nadu was brought to the notice of the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board. Government of Tamil Nadu requested the Board to evolve emission as well as ambient air quality standards for Chlorine gas. In this regard a meeting was convened on 10.7.91 at 11.00 A.M. Experts from industries and institutions attended the meeting. In the meeting, the members reviewed in depth, the emission as well as Ambient Air Quality Standards adopted by various countries in respect of Chlorine gas and hydrochloric acid vapours and mist. The Committee has also examined the present status of air pollution control devices installed in chloro-alkali industries in Tamil Nadu.
Considering all the above aspects in detail, the following limits were suggested for the emission from the stacks and in the ambient air.
Prescribed Limit 1. Chlorine Gas a. Emission from Hypo-tower of Chlor-Alkali industry b. In the Ambient air 2. Hydrochloric and Vapours and Mist a. Emission from all processes HCI Manufacturing unit b. In the Ambient Air 15mg/m3 3 mg/m3 35 mg / m3 7 mg / m3
The above decisions were placed before the Board at its meeting held on 9.8.91. The Board examined the above decision carefully and approved the above standards (Vide its resolution No.111-54 dated 9.8.91) for chlorine emission. Sd/ for Chairman

(b) B.P.Ms.No.609, dated 9.12.1992. (c) B.P.Ms.No.48, dated 9.9.1998. (d) Boards Resolution No.204-1-25, dated 22.6.2004. ORDER Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, in its proceedings B.P.Ms.No.142, dated 10.10.1986 fixed norms for location of stone crushing units based on studies conducted by the Central Pollution Control Board and subsequently fixed revised norms for location of stone crushing units in its proceedings, B.P.Ms.No.609, dated 9.12.1992 based on the report of the Committee constituted by the Tamil Nadu Pollution control Board, dated 3.7.1991 under the orders of the High Court of Madras, dated 30.11.1990 as follows : No stone crushers units should be located within 500 M from any NH or SH or primary residential area or mixed residential area of places of public and religious importance. 2. The minimum distance between two stone crushers should be 1 K.M to avoid dust pollution influence of one over the other. Subsequently, the Board received representations from various Associations of stone crushing units in Tamil Nadu to consider relaxation in the above norms as the units have installed air pollution control measures. Hence, the Board entrusted a study to the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur to assess the performance of the air pollution control measures provided by the stone crushing units, to assess the dust emission from the industry and to arrive at the optimum distance from the National / State highways and from the residential areas. The NEERI conducted the study during September and October 1997 and April and May 1998 and submitted a report with recommendations. The Board in its Proceedings, B.P.Ms.No.48, dated 9.9.1998 decided to accept the recommendations of the NEERI and decided to adopt the norms except those for residential area. The Board decided that in respect of residential area, no stone crushing industries are to be allowed to operate within 500 meters from residential area as per the orders of Honble Supreme Court of India, dated 25.4.1995 in the Civil Appeal No.10732/1995. Subsequently, in the order, dated 10.5.1999 in SLP(C) No.13564/1998, the Honble Supreme Court of India issue directions that the existing stone-crushers, who have valid licenses, are permitted to carry out their work subject to the complying with the conditions of the NEERIs Report. In another order dated 8.8.2000 in SLP(C) No.13564/1998, the Honble Supreme Court of India has

clarified that the earlier decision of the Supreme Court is confined to the facts of that case and will not stand in the way of the pollution control Board / State Government reconsidering amendment of Notification and or Resolution or Rule as the case may be and option is given to take into consideration the earlier expert committee report, dated 3.7.1991 and also the NEERI Report for framing appropriate Rule. The subject of revision of norms for the location of stone crushing units was placed before the Board at its meeting held on 22.12.2000. The Board in its Resolution No.182-3-9, dated 22.12.2000 decided to adopt the NEERI recommendations in case of existing stone crushing industries and in case of new stone crushing industries, it should be located atleast 500 metres away from habitations as per recommendations of the Expert Committee. The details as furnished in the Agenda for the Board meeting held on 22.12.2000 and the decision taken by the Board have been filed before the Honble Supreme Court of India as an Affidavit dated 3.1.2001 by the Board in SLP (Civil) No.13564 of 1998 in which the Honble Supreme Court of India issued final order, dated 25.9.20001. Regarding the final order, the Advocate on Record has clarified that the order of the Supreme Court is not strictly applicable to stone crushing units and the norms for existing and new stone crushers can be enforced as notified by the Board and as submitted by it in its affidavit, dated 3.1.2001 The Board has been adopting the norms for new stone crushing units as per B.P.Ms.No.609, dated 9.12.92, and for existing stone crushing units, the norms stipulated in B.P.Ms.No.48, dated 9.9.90, considering the fact that the above B.P. dated 9.9.98 is issued based on the studies on the existing stone crushing units who have represented to relax norms stipulated in B.P.Ms.No.609, dated 9.12.92. Regarding new stone crushing units the B.P.Ms.No.48, dated 9.9.98 has strictly ordered that no stone crushing industries are to be allowed to operate within 500 metres from residential area. But BP was silent on the distance criteria for new stone crushing units from NH/SH and hence the distance criteria for new stone crushing units fixed in B.P.Ms.No.609, dated 9.12.92 continued to be adopted by the Board in practice. However, the Appellate Authority in its order, dated 3.3.04 in the appeal filed by M/s.JVM Blue Metals, Thiruvannamalai has ordered as follows. It is clear from the proceedings that new norms was fixed for existing and proposed or new units and it was never the intention to maintain 1992 proceedings for any purpose. It is clear from para 3 of the proceedings. Appellate Authority has set aside the Boards rejection order and directed the Board to consider the application on the basis of B.P. dated 9.9.98. In this case the Board had rejected the issue of consent to a stone crushing units since it is located within 65 m from State highways thus violating the distance criteria of 500 m from state highways fixed in B.P.Ms.No.609, dated 9.12.92. The ambiguity in B.P.Ms.No.48, dated 9.9.98 by which it was not clearly specified that this relaxation is applicable to existing stone crushing units only has resulted in this situation by allowing the mushrooming of new stone crushing units near the NH/SH. This will affect the travelling public in the NH/SH due to deep penetration of dust from stone crushing units into their eyes / lungs due to
159
high vehicular speed and the dust will affect the visibility of motorists also. In order to remove the lack of clarify the matter is again brought to the Board to clearly fix the norms for existing and new / proposed stone crushers and the air pollution control measures without ambiguity 1.0 1.1 Sl. No. 1. 2. 3. 4. Criteria for existing stone crushing units: (as recommended by NEERI) Distance Criteria Type of clusters Distance between crusher / Green belt area cluster of crushers and at the periphery habitations / NN or SH Single crusher 50 mts. 10 mts. 10 crushers 150 mts. 30 mts. 25 crushers 250 mts. 50 mts. 50 crushers 300 mts. 100 mts.
Note :(a) For single crusher, the distance is to be measured from crusher boundary. (b) In the case of cluster of crushers the distance is to be measured from the last crusher boundary. (c) The crusher boundary implies the line joining all the emission sources in the crushing unit such as jaw crusher, conveyer belt, head, rotary screen etc. 1.2 If the distance between two existing crushers is more than 100 metres, it will be considered as a single crusher. If the distance between the existing crusher boundaries is less than 100 metres, it will be considered as a cluster. 1.3 Existing crushers, which are near the National or State highways and not meeting the distance criteria should provide a 15 to 20 feet wall on all the three sides (parallel to National / State highways and both sides) and upto the length to be stipulated on the alignment of road and boundary of the crusher in addition to the air pollution control measures. Explanation Existing stone crushing units are those which have valid licenses on the date of Supreme Court order namely 10.05.1999. 2.0 Criteria for new / proposed stone crushing units 2.1 No new / proposed stone crushers should be located within 500 metres from any National highways or State highways or inhabited site or places of public and religious importance. Note :Inhabited site shall mean a village site or town site or a house site as referred to in the revenue records or a house site or layout approved by a Local Body or Town or Country or Metropolitan Planning Authority, where the said Body or Authority is created under a statue and empowered to approve such an area as a house site or layout area (as desired in Rule 35 of Tamilnadu Minor Minerals Concession Rules, 1959). 2.2 The minimum distance between new / proposed stone crushers should be 1 km to avoid dust pollutional influence of one over the other.
160
2.3 Green belt development: The stone crushing unit shall provide adequate green belt cover around the periphery as suggested by the Board depending on site and meteorological conditions. 3.0 Air pollution control measures The existing and new / proposed stone crushing units should provide dust containment and dust suppression systems suggested by National Productivity Council as furnished in Annexure I and should also adhere to the recommendations furnished in NEERI Report (vide Annexure II). The above consolidated proposal of earlier B.P.Ms.No.609, dated 9.12.1992 and B.P.Ms.No.48, dated 9.9.98 is contemplated to make clear the decisions of the Board regarding the siting criteria of the existing and new / proposed stone crushing units and hence this proposal may take effect from 10.5.1999, the date of Supreme Court order defining existing stone crushing units. The above proposal was placed before the Board at its meeting held on 22.6.2004. The Board in its Resolution No.204-1-25, dated 22.6.2004 decided to approve the siting criteria of the existing and new proposed stone crushing units with date of effect from 10.5.99, the date of the Honble Supreme Court order, defining the existing stone crushing units.

ANNEXURE I Recommended dust containment and dust suppression system by National Productivity Council Dust containment system Dust containment system comprises of building enclosures over the major dust emission sources so as to contain the dust emission sources so as to contain the dust within the housing. Only rotary screen is considered for dust containment enclosures. It is not recommended to enclose the jaw crusher as frequent manual intervention and attention is required. Salient features of dust containment system
Enclosures to be constructed of G.I. sheets (1.66 mm and 1.25 mm thick) and supported on angle structures so that it can withstand strong wind. Roof to be given a gradual slope / curvature so as to prevent accumulation of water. Material transfer point such as hopper bottom / product unloading conveyor to be covered suitably to prevent dust release into the atmosphere. Locations where complete enclosures are not possible such as openings in jaw crushers side and bottom, are to be covered suitably (GI sheets / rubber flap or any other material) to prevent dust release into the atmosphere. Telescopic chutes are to be provided at product unloading conveyor to prevent dust release into the atmosphere during free fall off material from height. These chutes can be adjusted in length according to size of the heap. Openings in the enclosures over shaft motor driver conveyor belts etc., are to be covered with rubber flaps (wherever possible) to prevent release of dust. Openings fitted with doors are to be provided for inspection and access in the enclosures.
Dust suppression system Effective housing at location such as material transfer points cannot be constructed because of resultant obstruction to material flow. Since dust generation from these points are quite substantial, dust suppression system, comprising of spraying of fine water mist through special nozzles, should be carried out over the dust generation sources to suppress the dust cloud. There are two types of water spray systems (a) water spray on the generated dust cloud and (b) water spray directly on the material. The quantity of water spray should be sufficient to suppress dust without affecting the quality of the product. Too much water spray on the material will wet the dust completely and result in zero emission but the wet material is difficult to screen and has not market acceptance. A water pump is required to spray the water at a minimum pressure of 2 to
162
4 kg/cm2. The water consumption depends on type of nozzle chosen for application. The various application points are : At raw stones unloading site (optional) At feed point of raw stones into jaw crusher At discharge of the screened stone fractions from rotary screens into respective conveyor belief. Stone dust discharge from conveyor on stock pile (optional).
ANNEXURE II Recommendations in NERRIs final report on assessment of dust emission from stone crushing industry in June 1998 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Periodical cleaning of water spray nozzles should be carried out to avoid choking. Fine dust accumulated in the crushing area should be periodically cleaned and the dumps should be covered with tarpaulins to arrest erosion by wind. The drop height of the processed material should be kept at a minimum during loading and unloading. Conveyor chutes should be provided at the discharge points. There should be bilane road system to approach the crushers. The approach road should be properly laid with tar and concrete and should be sprayed with water. Similarly, the approach roads to individual crusher should be made in good condition and watered. Within the crusher, a minimum distance of 20 metres should be made for roads. The green belt will restrict the spread of particulate matter and trees should be evergreen high foliage type like neem, tarmarind, gold mohar, fire of the forest and any other local varieties are recommended. Cash crops like cashew nut, mango, lemon and sapota may be encouraged to get back financial benefits. If two or more crushers are located within 100 metres, they may be considered to have a common green belt if they are border cases. The graph prepared from NEERI Reports if furnished in Annexure III to fix the distance and green belt for any number of crushers in a cluster, limited to a maximum of 50 (Ex. For 5 crushers in a cluster, total area 100 m, green belt 20 m). Ornamental trees like Asoka along the roads on both sides leading to crushing area should be encouraged to improve the aesthetics of the working environment. As an occupational safety, all the workers should be provided with nose masks.
